Within the first couple months of 2018, there have now been 18 school shootings across the United States.

Not all shootings that have happened this year are related to an active shooter situation and not all shootings on school campuses have resulted in injury or death.

Wednesday's shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in South Florida is number 18.

Since 2013, there have been nearly 300 school shootings in the U.S. — that's an average of about one a week, according to gun control advocacy organization Everytown For Gun Safety.

Everytown for Gun Safety classifies an incident as "any time a firearm discharges a live round inside a school building or on a school campus or grounds." Eight of the incidents below did not result in injury or death.

Here is a list of the school shootings that have happened in 2018 (as of Feb. 14):

Feb. 14: Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida

A former student opened fire at a Florida high school, killing 17 people before authorities took him into custody.

A female student opened fire striking a 15-year-old boy in the head and a 15-year-old girl in the wrist. Three others, ranging in age from 11 to 30, suffered minor cuts and scrapes. Police believe the shooting was unintentional.
